See a pattern here?
Karen Hughes misattributed the phrase "One nation under God," Sarah Palin didn’t know what the First Amendment is or what the Vice President does, and now this.
We believe that the preamble to the Constitution contains an inarguable truth that we are all endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, among them life. [Applause] Liberty, Freedom. [Applause] And the pursuit of happiness. [Applause] Those of you watching at home may wonder why this is being applauded. We conservatives think all three are under assault. [Applause]
Zzzzzt!
So sorry, El Rushbo, those words are not from the Preamble. They’re in the Declaration of Independence.
All this love wingnuts claim to have for the Constitution never seems to manifest itself in, like, actual knowledge of the Constitution.

Yeah Rush, you remember the Declaration of Independence. The one Abe Lincoln signed.
Who wrote this Commie, pinko document?
There fixed it for you. It should also clear up your confusion. Conservatives are all about fabric. Words? Not so much.
“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government”
but gummint is bad. no?
Actually the word ‘freedom’ does not appear in the Declaration . . . or in the Preamble for that matter.
The Republicans only believe that “belief” is necessary. Knowledge is an impediment to belief.
Well, what are we supposed to expect from fat, lazy, stupid drug addicts?
I count four things, not three.
Well, what are we supposed to expect from fat, lazy, stupid drug addict-sex tourists?
good little Authoritarians with half a brain would have used the money quote:
Oops, forgot that one. ;)
Maybe Rush was talking about the Declaration of Constitution, signed in Gettysburg.
that photo grossly understates the Defender of Constitution’s morbid obesity
The Declarations of Confederacy signed by Jeff Davis in Richmond, VA/Montgomery, AL and other points South?
Ripe for doing Mrs. Paul’s Fishstick commercials, that one is…
crikey Hugh! just saw your comment
beverage of your choice awaits
Tis a little trifle of a complaint, but didn’t he also mention FOUR things, and then claim they were THREE???
Which of his little gems does he propose to drop in his next bom*.
Dog, these idgits give me a headache.
Now that would be the right place to looks for these folks.
nor, apparently, is he cognizant of what one of the most eminent framers, Alexander Hamilton, had to say about people like himself:
“…a dangerous ambition more often lurks behind the specious mask of zeal for the rights of the people than under the forbidden appearance of zeal for the firmness and efficiency of government. History will teach us that the former has been found a much more certain road to the introduction of despotism than the latter, and that of those men who have overturned the liberties of republics, the greatest number have begun their career by paying an obsequious court to the people; commencing demagogues, and ending tyrants.”
Yeah, Chairman LimpBark. “commencing demagogues, and ending tyrants”… that would be you.
oops! i see you beat me. *g*
Ignorant repuglicans like rush mouth irrelevant garbage like this only to remain relevant to those who pay attention to him (them). He (they) contribute nothing of significance. The stupid lead, and the ignorant follow.
Demagogues and tyrants at CPAC? Surely you jest. /s
oh crap, now I have Michael Steele as Captain Ahab in my head
Don’t forget Michael Hayden, who, while talking about how important the 4th Amendment is, claimed it uses a “probable cause” standard, when it says clearly, “…without warrants appertaining.”
It’s the Alice-in-Wonderland standard: “It says what I want it to say, and means what I want it to mean.”
Give me a F-ing break! I grew up in blood-red state (Oklahoma), in a very small hick town. And WE had to memorize the preamble to the constitution in elementary school.
Has the GOP sunk THIS far? Are their best and brightest really really stupid? Yes.
On his radio show today, Limbaugh fired back, calling the RNC and Michael Steele “so-called Republicans” and saying that they “need a little leadership.”
“So I am an entertainer and I have 20 million listeners because of my great song and dance routine,” Limbaugh said. “Michael Steele, you are head of the Republican National Committee. You are not head of the Republican party. Tens of millions of conservatives and Republicans have nothing to do with the Republican National Committee…and when you call them asking for money, they hang up on you.”
“I hope that changes,” Limbaugh continued. “It’s time, Mr. Steele, for you to go behind the scenes and start doing the work that you were elected to do instead of being some talking-head media star.”
Heads or tails. They’s all aimlessly wandering as far as I can tell.
Try leaving a trail of crumbs for them. Oh.. Those would be their leaders? Well allRIGHTy then. Circle their wagons forfeit their next dance macabre.
Hup hup.
I’m sure the Rushboneheads are doing a spreadsheet on our math.
Quick. Sub Johnny Depp! That help??
nah. they’re just prepping for the bonfire parsetee.
mister depp always helps :D
fine.. demagogues and wannabe tyrants ;-P…
on second thought, I don’t find that any more comforting…..
no charge. just don’t go gittin’ smarmy on us agin. Stay tuff, sodder.
Rushbo, all mouth, no brains, and stoopid to boot!
Yup, tangibilities, not abstractions.
PLEASE don’t put that pustule’s photo up anymore, ‘kay? Am I the only one that can hear him say “You sher do have a purty mouth, boy” as banjos play? Of course, that is sort of cruel, and I now would like to apologise to all of the inbred hillbilly rapists out there. My bad. Whoops, now I’m doing Michale Steele. OK, I’m not **doing** Michael Steele. Oh crap. Never mind.
From wiki on Michael Hayden:
The Fourth Amendment:
Mixing up my Constitutional violations. Thanks, Hugh.
there is, I think a certain physical resemblance is there not?
Defender of the Constitution (as proclaimed by CPAC):

Defender of the Faith (as proclaimed by the Pope he subsequently betrayed):
http://www.juliendesign.com/sc…..ryVIII.jpg
those “Defender” titles come way too cheaply….
Thanks bt.
hey you guys….what you might be forgetting is this fat slob is what al franken called “big fat idiot.” this guy is the guy who’s sending his maid out to score dope in the denney’s parking lot!! his fanny should of been sent to jail on that count. he’s the one who’s been most outspoken on perpetrating and perpetuating all the bush lies for the last 8 years. as a result thousands and thousands of people have been killed, both our soldiers and innocent civilians to the benefit of bushs’ cabal buddies profiting. thats all this is been about!! money!! now theyre spouting their crap about what obama is trying to get done when their actions absolutely ruined this country. they all are traitors. theyre worried about their 2nd admendment rights. what they should worry about is our revolution against all the crap they caused! show up at their front door as a pissed armed mob, walk them to the nearest oak tree and as we put the noose around their neck give them the classic line from “cool hand luke”…what we have here is a failure to communicate. then kick the chair!
For serious grins, try reading The Communist Manifesto to a Civics class (if such still exist anywhere), omitting the bit the kids all know (Workers of the world, Unite) and the noun Communist and adjective Communistic. Ask them where it came from, and they’re as likely to say the Declaration of Independence or the Magna Carta as Karl Marx.
But the funniest part of the Defensor Fideii title is that the English monarchy still uses it.
Apologist rednecks for Rush Limbaugh are doormats. Appeasers saving their job or fascist groupies. Any evidence to the contrary and they bury their face. They keep providing the stupid statements we can use it to teach others.
Pesticidal Murders.jpg
Rushjob protesting against truth, clean air, water and dirt. Nothing advocated by green people is selfish or segregated. Everyone breaths air and drinks water. The fastest way to a clean environment is to remove the bogus laws on Cannabis as a sacramental food, fuel, fiber and FARMaceutical for rednecks and bacco chawin steel workers too. Just because hippies smoke pot doesn’t mean hemp tensile strength is less than the potentiometer states it is. Or any tree, cotton or plastic fiber tested. Physics and reality over Rush drooling bandwagons to save the endangered Hedge Fund war broker. No ConPromises and No BS. Rushbog and the other wimpering lost need blame and guilt to justify their own laziness and cowardice to stigmatize those who would speak out. Rush attacks the protests and the most vulnerable, impoverished for profits.
Conservative Addiction Good, Liberal Addiction Bad! 12/02/03
No one risk beatings for causes they don’t believe in and yet Rust bashes and belittles workers and the young. Siding with the thugs over the victims everytime. Like his forefather Pinkertons and Storm Troopers and SS before him. Tiananmen Square, he would have praised the brave tanks standing up to Chai Ling. Bashing Robin Hood licking the same badges he licked to get off his dope charge. Shuck and Jive herding the ditto masses messed up on rotgut non American budgeiser.
The Ganjawar Comes to the The Rez
He jerks the rwb Iraqi crude oil plastic flag sewn in Chinese sweatshops by kids doing 12 hour shifts so Wallfart gets richer. Rush has 3000 of the message kids sodomized in juvi prison each year and never a mumbling word, but adults wanting equality in personal relationships or irresponsible prego’s or victims choosing to end something attached to their own bodies is a cause worth killing doctors for, Pesticides on crops and war zones are aborting more fetus than Roe v Wade but no crop duster ever got screaming meme’s flashing their pics of armless partial humans.

Poisons Hemp and Ganja don’t need. No screeching anger over the foreclosed families farming on forced Monsanto terminator seeds. Broke without a cash crop Canada has and maybe Mexicans wouldn’t need a two bit job washing dishes or getting poisoned in the fields. Risking life and limb paying savings accounts to coyotes for the privilege of getting shot by vigilantes or die of thirst in the desert. If the drug thugs like Rushit hate illegal immigrants let em grow Hemp, a staple and something to make into home grown jeans and Omega 3. Or remedy the NAFTA pillage of the textile mills that could have a manna from heaven to weave into softer stronger rugs and linen. But Rush whoring for the oil fiber and chemical cottons 90 million pounds sold each year.
Sen. Joseph McCarthy: Unrepentant Junkie
Hypocrites and Fascists are not ad hominems or adjectives to spice up a sentence. They’re “actions and those performing the actions are named after. Same as a plumber, does plumbing. Those doing the opposite of what they say are Hypocrites like Rush. I never said Ganja was bad. I’ve kept my word for 40 years and I am not a victim but regard it as a non religious sacrament. Rush and Fossil Fools murder kids and cause cancer and asthma RxGanja could relieve. Physics.
Ganja/Hemp
Global warming is a partial red herring to idiots, but stopping the man made causes will reduce the true problem of fossil fools and that is the infrastructure and sulfur, pcbs and dioxins. CO2 could be reduced using hemp and letting trees filter fresh water produce oxygen and remove CO2. Takes as much oil to extract the oil so the greedy are looking for alternative power sources to extract the remaining drops of cash and to hell with we the people. Same corporations shelving solar power in the 80’s, Rust’ pimps and sugar daddies, Nukes are radiation and most apes would get it that they are never safe and will always leak and the only ones who care are those selling cancer treatments and the fossil fool corporations banking in off shore accounts to skip US taxes, and will getting billions in subsidies Flushkie never notes. Chernobyl killed thousands of kids and not many on the tube ever knew it spread to East Germany with the cancer. Hemp is used to remove contaminated soil, but its outlawed. Every Military base could extract the poisons with Hemp. But its outlawed. Better to leech into the aquifer and breast milk.
The Elkhorn Manifesto
Oh giving a junkie a few dollars worth of “medicine” in a clinical environment not having to share needles. Being examined for other interactions or problems with quality assurance and consistent doses… is shunned and viciously attacked as sympathizing.
Eradicated Marijuana Is 98 Percent Ditchweed
Beyond retarded its so fucking mind warping no acid could touch the red zone this junkie lives in and the pain is relieved screaming rage at the weak, as any common coward. Rush is the Pharmaceutical/Ag Poison corporations used car salesman, nothing more. He’s from Pittsburgh a half assed mild rock dj when I lived there. Changed his name and bought some schwagg that turned him against hippies I reckon. Not cool enough so he became a snitch? He’s Just a junkie nimrods made rich because the factory closed down and the worker got foodstamps and that somehow hurts your paycheck more than giving Banksters a $trillion unquestioned to fill in for the $trillion they lost, also no rush prying questions ask.
Waldo Q. Pisstaster.jpg
Now the questions because of transparency. This is the same agenda to soil the attempt for future openness and easier thievery. Make it such a circus and repeat the limpnods rages so its ugly enough to avoid. Same as the red herrings of the past. Watergate diverted attention of the Shafer Commission letting Nixon lump Hemp and Medicinal into the mix when they were legal before the false scheduling. Though the catch 22 hoops were as illogical as today since the crude oil cellulose was turned into a competition fiber and the oil boyz and the banksters infesting thought a gravy train for the cop enforcement would be prudent at this juncture ie: the 1937 Marijuana Tax Ax. Rush is making such a farce out of the transparency the same as Klintoons raiders made a farce out of the Independent council and the Impeachment process itself. Curiouser and curiouser and thats without the so called Conspiracy theories. Some whack some real but lumped into the same sack same as Ganja and non psychoactive narcotic burlap.
Thank God for Hippies
If the lies were exposed Ganja would have never been classified as a schedule#1 narcotic, along with hemp burlap and canvas. I am not a legalizer I’m an anti-Fascist. When liars with hundreds of broadcast stations scream fire in crowded theaters getting innocents beat up or killed or the lies… it hurts Americans. Flush and o’really have no problem with that anymore than Bush stealing from the Treasury for lies in Iraq. Like I said, pitfuckingful. If they had ever done something in your measley lives to better America I might even pity them, now they’re fluxom spewing mouthfarts for lowlifes. Ambulance chasers suing victims for drunk drivers.
NixonTapesPotLies
Flush curtails free speech and the rights of citizens with his lies. The weak kneed blinder wearing appeaser begging for attention and satisfying themselves with moist crumbs dropped from his drooling mouth. Exposing rimjobs lies doesn’t mean a thing towards Obama clin Blieden. Thats the problem of ditto apologists. Taking sides and the Bill of Rights gets tossed. Believing there is a difference and keeping the division strong and therefore able to perpetuate the wars. The wars on poverty, the war on some non commercial drugs and plants. The war on skin color, hair length, genders and the war on cultures that don’t prostitute themselves for rimjob o’really profits. Isn’t it dangerous to have such worriers spouting fire in crowded theaters? How does he get air time? How does he sleep at night? Oh, oxycontin, I forgot.
Hemp Products Outlawed to US farmers
Carville on CNN: ”Michael Steel is over … he’s done … not very smart.” [!]
Carville: ”but I’m not a Republic.” IC!
